Why you ask? Well, I am soon off on a 5-week holiday and I have decided (after MUCH internal debate) to close up the shop while I'm away from May 26–July 2. I am pretty exhausted from the book writing extravaganza and really want to take a vacation without any work. Last year I did a lot of work while away and this year I'm shooting to do 100% vacationing and 0% work. I like those percentages!

Because of the upcoming closure, I am giving you all an opportunity to get what you need and want for your spring sewing before I hit the road. So if you've been wanting something, this is the time!!!

When I return I will be launching my newest pattern, the Emery Dress which is underway and will be wrapped up upon my return and hitting the shop. I love love love this dress and if you've seen me in the last six months, it's likely you've seen it too. It's pretty much my wardrobe staple.

So... don't delay! Hit the shop now and get yourself the patterns and supplies you need at a big 30% discount!!! Off to start stuffing envelopes... :)
